Press Release:
Treaty Meeting, Wounded Knee Site, Saturday July 13, 4:44 p.m.

Contact: Scott Barta (1851 Treaty) 218-204-1384

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
There will be a Treaty Meeting at the Wounded Knee Massacre site on Saturday afternoon at 4:44 p.m.

Families, women, and men are invited to participate in this spiritual Treaty Talking Circle to discuss strategies for getting the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie honored and respected.

Currently, nine (9) trillion dollars in Black Hills gold sits as stolen property in Fort Knox, Kentucky, while millions of dollars a day is spirited off of Treaty Lands from Wyoming in train cars to supply the electricity needs (coal gasification plants) for millions of americans - without one (1) cent going to the Treaty Signatory Nations and the N/DN/D/Lakota people for their Treaty Resource.

There will be a Canunpa Circle Ceremony as well as discussion about utilizing Treaty Land for a spiritual encampment/Treaty Reclamation project - the 40 acres of Treaty Land occupied/swindled from the heart of the "Pine Ridge Reservation" next to the Wounded Knee Massacre Site currently under discussion.

Treaties are protected by Article VI of the U.S. Constitution that states, "Treaties made with Indian Nations shall be the supreme law of the land, with the judges in every state bound thereby."

There are no 'broken' treaties, only those VIOLATED each day by the u.s. government and american people. The "squeeky wheel gets the grease" so it is now time to make Treaty Voices heard as Treaty Peoples reclaim Treaty "supreme law" Homelands. (In 1992/3, Oliver Red Cloud helped with the re-establishment of Oyate Omniciye "General Council Talking Circles" in Porcupine, SD, that later moved into Mni Luzahan)

History: You can only kick so long: AIM leadership in Neb. 70s

"You Can Only Kick So Long..." American Indian Movement leadership in Nebraska 1972-1979 by W. Dale Mason Reprinted with Permission-Originally Printed in Journal of the West 1984 Following the "re-occupation" of Alcatraz Island by Federal authorities in late 1971 after a two-year "occupation" by Indians living near San Francisco, the emerging nationwide Indian movement entered a new phase. Between the mid-1960s and 1971 there had been numerous "fish-ins" and seizures of Federal property by young Indian activists. Many of these acts of direct confrontation occurred without a great deal of planning. They often lacked a broad base of support among the Indian people living in the areas where they took place. Alcatraz itself was not of major concern to many indigenous California Indians. The impetus for the occupation of the Island had come from Indian college students living in the Bay Area led by Richard Oaks, a 27 year-old Mohawk from the St.Regis...
